Russell Crowe has argued that the rise of <br> <br> independent politicians are better representing the views of <br> <br> everyday Australians, unlike the two-party-dominated system in the United States. <br> <br> <br> <br> The Oscar-winning actor made the claim in response to podcast host Joe Rogan  complaining that Americans <br> <br> were 'completely trapped in the two-party system'.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> 'We have the same sort of situation, but we have a very interesting thing that's happening <br> <br> in Australia at the moment, which is the rise of independents,' <br> <br> Crowe countered.<br> <br> <br> <br> 'The main parties have to deal with the fact those independents <br> <br> have to bring a non-party-line series of points to the argument.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> 'And it's working well. It's working for us.<br> <br> <br> <br> In that it's making both of the main parties re-examine who they are and what they stand <br> <br> for.<br> <br> <br> <br> Rogan mused 'we could use that here, for sure',<br> <br> highlighting how US politics is completely dominated by the Democrat and Republican parties.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> There are other parties, including the Green, Libertarian, and Reform parties, <br> <br> but these receive vanishingly few votes in comparison.<br> <br> <br> <br> Independent candidates can also stand and have <br> <br> been known to perform well on occasion. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The Oscar-winning actor (pictured ) made the observation in response <br> <br> to podcast host Joe Rogan who complained that Americans were 'completely trapped in the two-party system'<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Joe Rogan (pictured) is one of the most powerful media <br> <br> figures in the world <br> <br> <br> <br> Civil rights opponent George Wallace ran a third-party campaign in the 1968 US election which <br> <br> saw him garner 10 million votes and take five southern states, while another disaffected Democrat, Strom Thurmond, in 1948 carried four southern states <br> <br> on a similarly racist platform but with only a million votes.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The nephew of a president, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was poised to get on the ballot in dozens of states <br> <br> as an independent candidate before he pulled out and backed Republican Donald Trump. <br> <br> <br> <br> He has now been appointed Health secretary in Trump's incoming cabinet. <br> <br> <br> <br> Trump himself had previously belonged to the Reform Party.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The former New York property developer had even considered <br> <br> running for president in the 2000 election under the banner of that movement - formed by former third-party presidential candidate Ross Perot, who won 19 per cent of the popular vote in 1992 but gained no electoral college votes.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Perot was the most popular minority party candidate since former Republican president Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 ran as the <br> <br> Bull Moose Party candidate - carrying six states <br> <br> including California and coming second ahead of Republican William Taft.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Australia has seen a rise in recent years of nominally independent <br> <br> politicians who have taken votes away from <br> <br> the two traditional parties of Labor and the Liberal-National <br> <br> coalition<br> <br> <br> <br> This situation is helped by a strong Green party who now have 12 <br> <br> senators and four members in the House of Representatives. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Zali Steggall (pictured) became the first 'teal' independent to achieve huge <br> <br> success when she ousted former prime minister Tony Abbott in his seat in Sydney's northern beaches at the 2019 election<br> <br> <br> <br> Meanwhile, independent candidates who run on strong climate platforms but are <br> <br> fiscally conservative have been labelled 'teal' candidates.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> This is because they have combined their 'green' views on climate with the traditional 'blue' approach of <br> <br> the centre-right Liberal Party on economics.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Zali Steggall became the first teal independent to achieve huge success when she ousted former <br> <br> prime minister Tony Abbott in his seat in Sydney's northern beaches at the 2019 election.<br> <br> <br> <br> In similar fashion, Monique Ryan won the traditionally Liberal seat from former treasurer Josh Frydenberg at <br> <br> the 2022 election. <br> <br> <br> <br> She was one of seven teals elected, swelling the lower <br> <br> house crossbench to 16, with this tally including the four <br> <br> Greens, three conservative independents and progressives Andrew <br> <br> Wilkie and Helen Haines.<br> <br> <br> <br> Crowe's three-hour conversation with Rogan, which was first <br> <br> aired in August, has recently resurfaced in teal social <br> <br> media adverts.<br> <br> <br> <br> They are being pushed by Melbourne philanthropist Simon Holmes <br> <br> à Court, who founded Climate 200, which has given campaign funding to some <br> <br> teal candidates.<br> <br> <br> <br> Not all the 12 independents elected in 2022 were <br> <br> teals, however. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Maverick independent Bob Katter has just celebrated 50 years in parliament (pictured: being congratulated <br> <br> by prime minister Anthony Albanese)<br> <br> <br> <br> Dai Lee, a former state Liberal candidate, defeated former Labor frontbencher and <br> <br> former NSW Labor premier Kristina Keneally in the south-west Sydney seat of Fowler.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> And, of course, maverick Bob Katter who has just celebrated 50 years in parliament, spending 20 years as a Queensland state <br> <br> MP before serving the past three decades in federal parliament as <br> <br> the MP for the regional far north Queensland electorate of <br> <br> Kennedy. <br> <br> <br> <br> Among his many mad-hat policies over the years include a bid to teach school kids how to fire <br> <br> rifles and a desire to build a missile shield across northern Australia.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The House of Representatives crossbench grew to 17 in late 2022 when Andrew Gee <br> <br> quit the Nationals in protest at its opposition to the Indigenous Voice to Parliament. <br> <br> <br> <br> The Greens and independents make up 11 per cent of the 151-member lower house - the highest proportion of non major party MPs since Federation in 1901. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Joe Rogan<br> <br> <br> <br> Here is my webpage - ดอกไม้ไหว้ศพ <br> <br> - https://Cl-system.jp/question/cash-for-%e0%b8%9e%e0%b8%a7%e0%b8%87%e0%b8%ab%e0%b8%a3%e0%b8%b5%e0%b8%94%e0%b8%a3%e0%b8%b2%e0%b8%84%e0%b8%b2-500-%e0%b8%9a%e0%b8%b2%e0%b8%97-%e0%b8%99%e0%b8%99%e0%b8%97%e0%b8%9a%e0%b8%b8%e0%b8%a3/
